Armani, 30 years after he grabbed the red shagpile at the Oscars and gave it a good shake out. He makes them look classy. His Armani Privé show in Paris on Tuesday evening may not have been a bonanza of affordable, cost of living crisis relevant clothes.

BBC Breakfast was hit with an awkward technical blunder during the latest instalment of the morning show.Jon Kay and Sally Nugent were back on the red sofa on Monday (June 20) to wake up the nation with the latest headlines.Weather presenter Carol Kirkwood was on hand to offer the latest forecast but one of her bulletins was interrupted with a sound gaffe.As she spoke to viewers about what they can expect from the day ahead, Carol's microphone was hit by an echo which repeated everything she said.Noticing the error, Carol ended the segment: "I'll have more throughout the programme, without the echo".It comes after BBC star Naga Manchetty sparked concern for Carol as she presented the weather live at Ascot Ladies' Day last week.Naga didn't hesitate to raise her concerns for her co-star pal as Carol basked in the British sunshine.Carol summed up her report by saying: "I'm going to leave you with this beautiful view. Look at the sky - it's blue, it's sunny, and it's lovely."Naga then asked her: "It's slightly hazy, isn't it, Carol? It looks...

Dan Walker's transition into life at Channel 5 seems to have gone smoothly, there has allegedly been some "disruption" behind the scenes at his old BBC Breakfast job.One BBC source has now confirmed to Daily Star that things are rather hectic behind-the-scenes of the morning programme, which is currently helmed by Sally Nugent, Jon Kay, Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt.Not only is there tension on set due to the "hasty" decision by BBC bosses to replace Dan's image with Jon Kay's for the show's official social media accounts, but a major overhaul is being planned at the same time.Speaking exclusively to Daily Star, a BBC source said: "There's disruption behind the scenes as BBC Breakfast is getting a new set in the next few months."The show is set to emulate the studio of popular US talk shows, with a more dynamic background and perhaps swapping out the low coffee table for a higher desk.They added: "It will be the first time they've changed it since they moved to Salford in 2012, so all in all everything will look very different in the coming months."Apparently they want it to look a bit more like a US breakfast show and might have windows and people walking past."But that isn't all, as there is more tension than just a set reshuffle behind the cameras.In front of the camera, Jon Kay has stepped almost seamlessly into Dan's old seat on the red sofa - but not everyone is happy about it.The BBC hasn't yet confirmed who will take over Dan's role in an official capacity, and some staff still vying for the promotion have been left feeling "awkward" that Jon appears to be the "heir apparent".Our source told us: "Much as everyone thinks Jon Kay is the heir apparent for Dan's job, there has been some uneasiness that the

Dan Walker could be replaced on BBC Breakfast by his new Channel 5 co-star Julian Druker.Dan left the BBC for good last month and made the move to 5 News, which he presents alongside Claudia-Liza Vanderpuije. Since then, the BBC have been considering various candidates to take over from him.One of which is Channel 5 news reporter Julian Druker, a BBC source confirmed exclusively to Daily Star - who Dan appeared alongside just last week (June 10).Julian was outside London's High Court to discuss the plans to send refugees to Rwanda, which subsequently failed to go ahead on Tuesday (June 14).Dan asked Julian: "Good evening, what’s been happening?"Later, the clip cut to Dan in the studio as he wondered: "And Julian, there’s been other opposition to the plans?"Julian was all professionalism as he responded: "Yes, Labour leader Keir Starmer today describing it as a 'chaotic diversion', said it hasn’t been thought through, he says ministers here should get around the table with ministers in France…"But our BBC source has claimed that Julian could be eyeing up Dan's old job with its eye-watering £100,000 salary for a three day week.They told Daily Star that while BBC star Jon Kay looks to be the frontrunner, other names are still in the mix."Jon Kay is very popular in the newsroom, but the process to replace Dan is still ongoing with a few weeks left apparently.

Carol Kirkwood, 60. told her 235,600 followers that she was stepping away from her usual BBC Breakfast position for a "special reason".The news comes after the weather presenter announced live on BBC Breakfast at the end of last month that she is engaged to be married.Taking to Twitter, Carol addressed her absence with her 235,000 followers.The weather presenter wrote: "I am (obviously!) not at work today… but am heading out to see something rather special!" she announced with a winking emoji."Will share with you later.Take care xxx."@robin_knowles wrote back: "Come on Carol spill, what's happening? Missing you on BBC this morning!!Meanwhile @jackfromdevon chimed in: "Ooh! Can't wait.Sounds like a mirror as you are very special."Carol's next tweet made it clear that she hadn't set off for a special destination yet, as she was doing something a little more mundane before leaving."You can take the girl out of the country…." she joked, before disclosing: "Two loads of washing done and out on the line!!!"Meanwhile she also posted a photo a few days earlier of herself reading a copy of her latest novel, The Hotel On The Riviera.The tagline on the front cover teases: "It's the perfect place to hide a secret".Carol recently revealed that she is preparing to tie the knot with her partner.However she has not publicly announced his identity or even his first name so far.Co-star Sally Nugent outed Carol's new relationship status live on air earlier in the year, teasing: "I'm a little bit concerned about you this morning."I don't know how you're managing to stand up with that giant rock on your left hand."Playing things down, she thanked her colleague and shyly agreed: "It is rather nice.

BBC have reportedly been left feeling uneasy as the search continues for Dan Walker's successor. The former BBC Breakfast star's replacement has reportedly already been chosen, according to reports.

BBC Breakfast, as staff are said to be "uneasy" that Dan Walker's replacement has already been chosen - despite applications being ongoing.Dan Walker left the programme after more than a decade last month to make a move to rival network Channel 5 News.And since then, bosses have been battling to find an adequate replacement for the star, with external applications invited on the BBC website.Though the deadline for applications closed on May 24, interviews are said to still be ongoing for the role, and no official replacement has yet been announced.However, a BBC source has now confirmed exclusively to Daily Star that staff have been left feeling "awkward" behind-the-scenes, as bosses seem to have rushed into the "hasty" decision to make Jon Kay Dan's replacement.They confirmed: "Much as everyone thinks Jon Kay is the heir apparent for Dan's job, there has been some uneasiness that the 'header' picture for the official BBC Breakfast Twitter account has been changed in the last few days (while the process is still ongoing) to include Jon as one of the four main stars."It's perhaps fair enough as he has been part of the 'family' for months, but some of those within the BBC are still vying for the job and feel it's now already been decided."They added: "Some of those candidates also wonder if the show bosses could have waited a few more weeks before doing it."Despite Jon being "well liked" in the studio, it has made certain people feel "uneasy".Our insider said: "There is a bit of awkwardness that the bosses have put Jon in this situation.

BBC Breakfast this week.We've all forgotten the time at one point in our lives, but unfortunately for BBC broadcasters, their time-telling errors get caught on camera, so the nation gets to see them.The BBC Breakfast host was forced to apologise to viewers on Tuesday (June 14) after realising he'd got the time wrong during one of his TV links.But his co-host Sally Nugent couldn't hold back her giggles as she sat next to him on the famous red sofa.It was six thirty in the morning when Jon began: "It's coming up to half-past eight... six! Sorry."He looked down and seemed rather shocked when he realised he'd got the time wrong.A red-faced Jon quickly corrected himself and jokingly urged viewers not to panic - just incase they worried they were late for work or dropping their kids off at school.Sally clearly saw the funny side of the error as she laughed beside him - and Jon managed to flash a grin too.It's well known that BBC Breakfast stars have to get up extremely early to prepare for the programme - past presenter Louise Minchin would set her alarm for three.Breakfast then airs between six and nine in the morning.This is a live TV story and is being constantly updated.

BBC Breakfast presenter Jon Kay looked utterly unrecognisable in a throwback snap taken a quarter of a century ago.The star is used to appearing on the iconic red sofa alongside the likes of Sally Nugent and Carol Kirkwood, and tends to rock smart suits and ties for his time on the show.But in the snap shared with his Twitter followers, Jon looked completely different in a dark green fleece and a cheeky grin, as he posed alongside Neighbours stars on the Ramsay Street set.In one snap, Jon could be seen posing alongside Jackie Woodburne, who plays Susan Kennedy, and Alan Fletcher, who plays Dr Karl Kennedy.Jon stood with his hands in the pockets of a pair of black slacks as he grinned at the camera, wearing his brunette hair buzzed a little closer to his head than he does in the present day.The star added a backpack to his ensemble and wore his shirt open at the collar while grinning open-mouthed in another snap, taken aback by being on the Neighbours set.Jon wrote alongside his snaps: “Loving the #Neighbours nostalgia on @BBCBreakfast. This is me backpacking in Melbourne 25 years ago and bumping into the *actual* Kennedys filming on the *actual* Ramsay Street!”Fans simply couldn’t get over how different Jon looked in the pictures, with one writing: “You look sooo young… and a bit Australian! I can see you with a surfboard under your arm (on a sunnier day!).”Another added: “Amazing pic!”“You don’t age!” added someone else, while a fourth said: “Quality! You look so excited!”Another social media user said: “Amazing Jon.

BBC Breakfast fans have been left stunned after Jon Kay shared a 25-year-old throwback picture with the Neighbours cast. Today's show paid tribute to the Australian soap on its final day of filming before coming to an end after 37 years.

BBC Breakfast's Carol Kirkwood was left 'gutted' after a 'dull' swipe from co-star Jon Kay. Carol, 60, was on today's edition of BBC Breakfast to present the weather, while Jon Kay and Sally Nugent were on the red sofa as the main anchors.

BBC Breakfast star Carol Kirkwood has hit back after she thought her co-star Jon Kay called her "dull" live on air.The 60-year-old weather presenter was back on our screens on Wednesday (June 8) morning to bring the latest forecast to the nation.However, things turned slightly awkward between Carol and her co-star Jon Kay as he introduced her bulletin.He said: "If you want you dull though, the weather might provide it."Jon's visibly shocked co-star Sally Nugent replied: "I thought you were talking about Carol for a minute then." "Of course, i'm not talking about Carol," he replied, before adding: "Carol, is the sunshine in our lives."Sally added: "'I wouldn't take it Kirky."Appearing on camera, a giggling Carol responded: "I was gutted there for a couple of minutes or seconds even" before going on present the latest weather news.It comes just days after Carol presented the live weather from Buckingham Palace.The TV star joked she was going to be "escorted out" of the Queen's iconic palace by royal security guards at any second during the broadcast.She'd just finished up her forecast from the idyllic palace gardens, where she stood on top of a giant water fountain to tell viewers about what conditions they can expect from the day.TV presenter Sally said it was her "favourite weather forecast of the morning" before co-host Jon joked that Her Majesty could be watching Carol from her window.Jon said: "I'm just imagining the Queen looking out of her window saying 'what is that Carol Kirkwood doing in my garden?"The weather star burst out laughing before she replied: "And I'm going to be escorted out any second now."Jon remarked: "I thought security were behind you earlier," to which Carl quipped: "They're actually behind the
